The Daily: Waking Up Hungry

 Thursday, March 24, 2022

5:00 am: Alarm going off and rudely waking me up and I'm hungry. Waking up hungry is annoying. 

5:17 am: Working out at the gym. Another reason I know I am getting old is that I am highly annoyed that the kid who is working at the gym (the employee) is working out with us but the Clorox wipes are empty, so no one is able to clean the machines. The "employee" is just chugging away on that elliptical machine.

6:57 am: Ready for coffee and then some more coffee.

8:10 am: Back from dropping the kid off at school and traffic was horrendous. I hate the drive to school (and the drive back from school...I hate all driving that has to do with going to school).

9:05 am: Cleaning the bathrooms, it's a truly shitty chore but I prefer keeping the bathrooms in my house a touch cleaner than the public restrooms at the beach. Anyone else feeling that?

10:07 am: Time to create. I love ten o'clock, this is when I give myself permission to make something, today I am making three more The Baby Gene videos to create movies with for TikTok. It's really stretching my imagination to try and figure out how to get this weird little baby toy into sticky situations.

10:40 am: Videos done. Time to write. I am working on an essay for The News With No Sound about how kids are using emoji as code words to buy and sell drugs. The ingenuity of it all...

 

12:03 pm: Just ate a salad with the left over Green Goddess dressing that made last night, it still wasn't very good. Still not a Goddess at making green dressing.

1:43 pm: Working in my kids room when the dog got really happy and ran to the sliding glass door. She sat and was wagging her tail. When I went to go look at what she was so happy about I saw one of our long winded neighbors standing by our fence looking into our yard. What?! He didn't knock on the door. I guess he came by for a look-see?

3:30 pm: Helped the kid draw a two faced version of Andrew Jackson, homework is weird these days.

4:26 pm: Time to get back to the life of chores. Someone's got to feed these people.

6:31 pm: Yoga on the floor of the living room time, then a face mask. A little me time.

7:33 pm: Time for some Netflix. We are still working on the Vikings Vahalla show, it's entertaining (does that sound like I'm saying it's not entertaining, sometimes my sarcasm is...)

8:45 pm: Never mind Vikings...back to The Mindy Project, until...the DVD won't play anymore. I guess that's part of why streaming is so popular. Bummer.
